Subject: Songs From the Mudcat Songbook!!!!!
From: Amos
Date: 25 Apr 06 - 10:11 AM

This is an edited PermaThread™, and all messages posted
here are subject to editing and deletion.
This thread is intended to serve as a forum
about recordings made available by Mudcatters of songs that have been placed in
Áine's Mudcat Songbook. Amos is responsible for editing and maintaining this
thread.


I am happy to report that a little project I have been working on is acheiving its first goals in the form of a new website for Catter entertainment and listening pleasure.

The site is Songs from the Mudcat Songbook and a prototype of it is available for your viewing. It presents MP3 recordings of songs that have been written by Mudcatters and placed in Áine's Mudcat Songbook. So far, these are about a dozen recordings of songs I had sent in for Song Challenges, but the Site is open to any recording of any Songbook song by any Catter. About six of these were played on Mudcat Radio long ago.

The home page can be found here:

Songs from the Mudcat Songbook



The songs are listed on the Song List page (surprisingly enough). The list of titles on the left has corresponding links to the threads the songs came from (if any) on the right.

So if you ever wondered what "Incandescent Pickle II", or "The Gentleman's Club" sounded like, now you can find out!

Caveats:

1. Although I have speeded it up by normalizing all the graphics to lower resolution, the initial pages still load somewhat slowly, depending on your bandwidth. Using a Cable Modem at home, about 4 seconds. From work, on Windows, about 45-120 seconds.

2. Only those song titles which are bolded on the Song List page have recordings yet. But all of the links to the original threads should work.

3. The recordings suck, some of them.

Plans

Phase II of this project is to make new recordings for the ones that are poor quality, and add recordings for those not yet made.

Phase III is to receive recordings from any other Mudcatters who have recorded their Songbook songs for inclusion on the web site.

These two phases will run concurrently. Send 'em in any time. Send me a PM if you need an addy. MP3s can be emailed, also.

The site is in Beta trials, so drop by and offer advice on how to improve it.

Enjoy,

Amos

I'm confused. (Actually, people have been telling me I was confused for years!)

I know as a fact that my Garden Gnome song, Can't You Stand To Let Him Go? is/was in the Mudcat Songbook. It was from Part 25, the Garden Gnome thread, found HERE

I don't find it at your site, in either listing.

I'd be happy to record an MP3 and submit it, if in the smallest way encouraged.

Dave:

Make an MP3 and email it to me and I will make a page for it.

I thought it too overwhelming to offer to make a page for every song in the Songbook. I listed ones (a) I have mp3s for or (b) I am going to make mp3s for and will add (c) those others provide recordings of, which I will add as they occur. OK?

There are thousands of great songs in the song books. This site will only list those for which audio is in the offing. I wish I could do them all!

Looks as though you've put a lot of work into it. Some of the Quicktimes didn't work; only showed the symbol, but not the slider bar. Also, I think it'd be better of you make the font size bigger for the lyrics. And, please, think about listing the songs in alphabetical order; it'd be much easier to find them that way. It would also be nice to sing see (maybe that was an unconscious slip?:-) the songwriter/performer's name listed with each, if possible, on the Song List page. Great work and project. Thanks!

WoW Amos! Wonderful labour of love! Thank you so much!

Strange how the song challenges lead to other stuff too. I used the Scientific Bees thread as the inspiration for some cover art for the CD, Agents For Beehive.

The album title was originally from a sign regarding a wool supply outlet, but because of Mudcat, that was not where my mind automatically went.

ALthough a few of the sound files ended up being turned in .mov files for reasons I haven't spotted, most of them are .mp3 files. I believe the display which includes a play bar is a Quicktime widget, though. Let me know if it works for you to play any song, Bill.

The soundfile part of the page is the last bit to load and takes th elongest; leave the page up, and watch the load progress bar; when it is finished, the Q symbol should turn into a play bar.

and....I see ONLY Quicktime files. Where are any MP3s?

Why does 50 mgs of stuff need to load in order to play a single song?

Yes, there are some great and beautiful songs. I just listened to the first one, Across the Miles and Over the Years. I have cable and use WINXP; it took over two minutes to load, so I think it's a good thing you are going to try to do something slightly different.

Also, I noticed some slight differences in the typed lyrics and the actual words of the singing:

2nd verse: text says, "Castles of Rome, Gutters of Paris,"
singing was, "Castles of Paris, Gutter of Rome."

3rd verse: text says "to the far hills of Arcturus"
singing was: "to the hills of Arcturus"

4th verse: "song of the ocean, meets the dreams"
singing was: "songs of the ocean meet the dreams"

Not being picky, just know that I would want to know if I'd missed something like that. I know it's difficult when working with so much material.

Thanks for doing this!

OK. Let's try this sucker again! :>)

The songlist file was the big horsepill, and I have slashed it to a thin, graceful table, duly alphabetized, with authors. Right now most of the authors is me, but that will change if others care to get some recordings out.

The individual song files were in a very byte-intensive AIFF format and are now all compressed to MP3. They still stream, though. To make them rightclick-downloadable, I'd have to hand tailor all the pages over. Which I don't have time for.

The sound files as mentioned are crude ones from long ago, but they are bearable.

If YOU have SONGS in the MUDCAT SONGBOOK which you can make a sound file of, you may (if you so decide) send it to me and I will make a page and add it to the song index. If you send WAV oir AIFF files I may compress them. If you send analog files on tape or if you send CDs or DAT tapes or minidisks, I will transfer them when I find the time to do it

Enjoy.

Let me know if you trip over other bugs. Bloody HTML is a life-long hobby!

It may "go without saying", but anything I've posted on the 'Cat, and claimed as my own, can be considered as available.

The 'Filk' community seem to have a standard "Blanket Permission" list to allow others to quote their songs (attributed) or use them (attributed, and 'not for profit')
Maybe something here may be suitable along similar lines.

Åine has not been on line very often of late, being fully occupied with other activities, but if you leave her a PM perhaps she will get an answer to you next time she comes by.

Thanks for the suggestion re the Welcome page.

This is not, itself, a song book substitute, but a place to post links to recordings that have been made of songs from the Songbook. All the songs on the SOng List page either have or will have recordings posted, and the existing recordings will be improved as I have time. Anyone who wishes to send me an MP3, AIFF, WAV or CD of a Mudcat Songbook song will have it included on this page.

Nigel: the Blanket Permission is a jolly good idea, which I shouldn't have overlooked. Thanks.
